Does not work with st terminal

[iveqy]

When starting slack-term from the st terminal ( https://st.suckless.org/ ) the screen is showing garbage and the program is unusable.

This is tested on alpine linux (musl based linux distribution)

Hi,

I have the same issue here with different terminals, here is my config

• OS: Linux 4.15.3-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 15 00:13:49 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• Install method: go get
• Terminals: urxvt, guake
• Configuration: Copy of the exemple in README, without other modification than the token.
  Demo: https://asciinema.org/a/7cydS1SlkzAUBVZe5xLsJ9Ibr

It however seems to work with xterm and termite.

Edit: Got it to work properly by using TERM="linux" slack-term, seems caused by termbox handling of those terminals, and defaulting to xterm. See gizak/termui#20 and the source code involved.

@iveqy is this the same issue as #98?

@Xide thank you for the work-around!

@erroneousboat possible, but not necessarily. They seem to have the same symptom, but that doesn't mean that it's the same issue.
